Pouilly-Fuissé has had a complicated reputation — too often dismissed as the southern Burgundy you buy when Meursault feels out of reach. The 2023 introduction of premier cru classifications changed that conversation, and 'Sur La Roche' was always going to be one of the sites that justified the fuss. Saumaize-Michelin farm it with the kind of quiet rigour that doesn't need advertising. The rock is right there in the name: this is limestone-driven, saline, and purposefully taut rather than generous. The 2024 vintage in the Mâconnais was bright and precise, with natural acidity that kept everything honest, and this wine has it in spades; white peach and apple skin, a streak of white pepper, and that distinctive chalky pull on the finish.
